A man angry about health care reform allegedly made threatening and harassing phone calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, including at least one call in which he got through and spoke to her directly, law enforcement officials said. Gregory Lee Giusti, 48, was arrested Wednesday at his San Francisco home, FBI spokesman Joseph Schadler said. He would not disclose the charges against Giusti, but several federal officials said Giusti made dozens of calls to Pelosi's homes in California and Washington, as well as to her husband's business office. They said he recited her home address and said if she wanted to see it again, she would not support the health care overhaul bill that since has been enacted.

Mine cited twice on day of blast

Massey Energy Co.'s Upper Big Branch mine, a sprawling West Virginia coal mine where an explosion killed 25 this week, was cited for violating two federal safety rules on Monday, the day of the blast, Mine Safety and Health Administration records show. Kevin Stricklin, a top federal mine official, says he is confident the violations had nothing to do with the blast. Meanwhile, high levels of dangerous methane gas made it impossible for rescuers to venture inside the mine Wednesday to search for survivors.
